The Southern Kansas material yard at
Cherryvale is being filled up with mater
ial and it is thought that work on the
COffeyville branch will begin at ance and
pushed through the territory.
Every county in the state of Kansas
either has or will have within a year a
completed line of railroad. The Atchi-

It is said that the Jared Cone damage
suit against the Santa Fe, which was re-
versad a few days ago by the supreme
court. will not come to trial again. but
will be compromised. 1t viii be remem-
bered that Cone got Judgment against
the Santa Fe for $25 900.

the following: The Denver & Rio

The series of experiments which Mr.

rendering one may not gain the other.
The home feeling can be made

CONWAY SPRINGS.

To the Editor of the Eagle:
This section was visited last Saturday
afternoon by a blizzard which made
those who were away from home hurry
their steps thitherward.
The ladies Of the Presbyterian society
gave their annual Thanksgiving dinner
on Thanksgiving day. A good many
awaited themselves of this opportunity to
get a turkey dinner at small cost.
Friday a four-horse and a twO-horse
load Of teachers and friends went to
Wellington to attend the Southwestern
Teachers association. The right being
50 dark, they remained over and came
home on Saturday, reaching here just
before the blizzard.
On Thanksgiving eve our schools closed
the fall term with literary entertain
ment, consisting of recitations, tableaux
dialogues and music. The house was
crowded and the entertainment elected
praise from everyone.
The board of trade is at work endeav-
orlng to secure sugar factory AZ this
point. A meeting was called last week,
a committee sent to Fort Scott and other
committees organized. An adjourned
meeting was held on Monday evening
OF this week, when the committee sent
to Fort Scott made very favorable re-
port and further steps were taken
towards pushing the project. No better
location could be found than Conway
Springs, and it would be great help to
this section Of our country.
The Methodist church has been hold
ing protracted meetings for the past two
weeks with very good success; seven

The pastor has been assisted in these
services by Rev. Mr. Beach, of Goddard.
Our billiard hall left the other night

a great deal of corn is finding its way

by farmers living further south and
taken there for feed. The price ranges
from thirty-two to forty cents.
Two of our banks, the Citizehs' State

Written for the Eagle,
A WESTERN BLIZZARD.

o, jewellers, that live where the pine trees
grow,
And the rivers that roll into the sea,
When the storm is fierce and the winds do
blow,
And the great waves dash on the rocks
below,
Ye pity the sailor We never may see:
And think there's no place the wide world
DER,
So dangerous as your rock bound shore
It's true that death rides there in the
gale,
And We hear his dirge the pine trees moan:
But out on the plains DER the buffalo's
trail,
Are voyagers there without compass or
sail,
Who die with their mates, or die alone
When the blizzard comes with its terrible
roar,
And the snow covers deep its victims DER
1t comes from out of the frozen
And it comes with mighty power; re
1t howls and it shrieks in fearful
And it freezes the morrow stiff in your
bones;
If no shelter there be in that awful hour,
Like the drowning sailor on the stormy
main
You'll never see home nor friends again.

Senator James of the Wisconsin state
legislature performed very clever coup
on that body few days ago He was
known to be champion OF the waman
Suffrage movement, but inasmuch as
several other states grant women the
privilege Of voting for school trustees,
the little bill prepared and presented by
the doughty senator, giving women
the right to vote at all elections pertain
ing to school matters" was regarded is
a harmless sort Of concession to the
fair impleaders and it was passed.
Since it has become law the discovery
is made that the only elections pertain
ing to school matters in the cities of that
state are the regular municipal elections,
and they do beyond question, since the
municipal legislative bodies choose the
school officers. So unless the state legis-
lature should make haste to repeal the
law it has just passed the women of that
state will become full fedged voters.

that the Henry George boom bursted the
moment it struck a country town. The
rural converts would not take it home
and divide up their lands in the interest
